What is Islam? What is a Muslim? with Hamza Tzortzis

[Hafza00]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG !! You are so cute Masha Allah bro :)

[EnjoiningKnowlege]

Masha'Allah! You may be interested in seeing Wilfrid Laurier + Waterloo Universities' IAW promo vid too: watch?v=ZGy-c2pQIVg

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Reference and examples. You joke!

[DuckingNDiving]

@AlhamdulillahAkhi blocking people is all you can do,free speech is against islam and you have proved my point,you are a pathetic excuse and you and your pagan allah can go to hell for all i care,don't bother replying,2 can play your game,besides you are a waste of time,you are like a child having a hissy fit,so dry your eyes and grow up

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@DuckingNDiving Blocking you was to get rid of a person that gives "facts" but does not reference them. Allah means God. You joke! All you can do is HATE people for what they beleive. Its because of people like you - propogating hatred, this world is flowing with so much blood. You have said so much yet you have no eveidnce to back your claims. That is a sign of a ignorant, twisted, narrow minded person that polutes this world with there existence.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@DuckingNDiving Yet I love you as a brother/sister in humanity for the sake of Allah. Whatever your ideas, you have your "religon" and I have mine I respect you and accept you. But do not insult other peoples ideas/religion. Do not generalise the whole population of Muslims to be violent due to the actions of a few. That is very "unsicentific".

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@DuckingNDiving I also have to say you sound very insecure. 

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis I gave you a lot of references of westen acadamics.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis LOL. You are a joke. You couldn't even define freedom. You will be reported to youtube and the police.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis And many Muslims helped the to fight him. You really need to state the bigger picture. I love America, it is an amazing country, but I do not agree with everything they do. Britain is my own country, I love it, but I do not agree with everything they do. I was hurt when so many British where killed. Hate gets you nowhere. That is what your doing. My intention was not to show the bad things that these powers have done, but to correct you in your calim that Islam is violent.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Reference!! They do not want peace they want to blow one of the beautiful thing there.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis You ask me for statistics? Yes I will give it to you togther with reference. Show me your reference. Your just bouncing from one thing to another, avioding the holes. You are wrong. And I will not believe anything you say until you reference your claims!

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis your agrument has no bases. I have referenced everything that I have wrote. They are not my words but words of others. So talking about facts, where are you getting yours from. You have not given me a single reference. Difine what freedom is. The such thhing as freedom? The freedom of a muderer is to muder. Freedom is very sujective, and not everyones freedom can be met. You talk about Mohammed pbuh like that? You should watch your mouth.

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis .....It is quite unlikely that al-Khwarizmi knew of the work of Diophantus, but he must have been familiar with at least the astronomical and computational portions of Brahmagupta; yet neither al-Khwarizmi nor other Arabic scholars made use of syncopation or of negative numbers."

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis..... First, it is on a far more elementary level than that found in the Diophantine problems and, second, the algebra of al-Khwarizmi is thoroughly rhetorical, with none of the syncopation found in the Greek Arithmetica or in Brahmagupta's work. Even numbers were written out in words rather than symbols!.....

It is true that in two respects the work of al-Khwarizmi represented a retrogression from that of Diophantus.

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Well you can be narrow minded and think all the things that are against Islam is true and everything that Islam has done for this world is false. There must be some stupid people living in this world- The fastest growing religion. There must be a reason. All praise to Allah. Hope God guides you. Peace.

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Nobody has or sells more weapons than the US and UK.

Can you see what is happening here? Or are you still afraid of the boogey-man?

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Nobody has benefitted more from terrorism than the US, the UK, and Israel. They use terrorism as an excuse to change the law, giving more power to the authorities and withdrawing freedoms from the people. They use terrorism as an excuse to attack and conquer foreign lands. They exploit our fear to win support.

If terrorism and WMD are such a threat, what are the causes? Nobody provides more money to terrorist groups and rogue states than the US and the UK

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis 11,000: the people killed in America every year by guns, a human tragedy equivalent to a new 9/11 every 3 months. 400,000: Americans die each year from obesity (while much greater numbers around the world starve to death).

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Over the last 75 years America has killed 10,431,000 people. That is excluding POWs, classified information, and WW2 pre-nuke! 2,500: Palestinian civillians killed "by accident" in Palestine by the Israeli army - and that's just since September 2000,8,437: Civilians killed by US/UK attacks in Iraq in 2003.

3,800: Civilians killed by US/UK attacks in Afghanistan by 2002.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis  Yes I believe that.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Learn the use of language then maybe you would be able to understand things better.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Pagan? We believe in Abraahim. Allah is just another name for God. So yes your life is in Gods hands, your absolutely right. There was no threat. May I ask as well how old are you? You sound very childish.

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis God, Allah. Same thing.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Amazing that you have to hide behind a fake name. What a disappointment.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Now I know you are just a mischief maker. Read sura 69 43-.It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. And IF he had invented false sayings concerning Us, We assuredly had taken him by the right hand. And then severed his life-artery, And not one of you could have held Us off from him. Noah/Loots wives have not been judge nor have they entered hell. That is what is destined for them. Allah knowing everything uses this as warnings for the rest.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis We will see who is right on the day of judgement.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis You sound very confused and lost.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis You need to check your facts. Who is the father of modern medicine? Just one example of many. Go and educate yourself before you try to criticise anything. I am a student of science and theology. What you just said is ridiculous. May Allah guide you or destroy you Ameen. Don't make facts up and mislead people

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis So is Islamic law. You really need to get off this, as you have no clue what Islam is about and how it works.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Even up till today the indians are suffering and disputing over land. Come on look at the bigger picture.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Then you have to define what you mean by secular. America? Human rights? Please don't make me laugh. Guantanamo Bay. Oh my God there are some blinded people in this world. I am really confused. Study the psychology behind law making and where is originated.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis How many people has secular governments killed? Indians in America? Australia? Or is that all hidden aware? If the Quran is man made come up with one sentence like it. I challenge you. Seriously come up with a sentence like it. It is clear from you claim that the Quran is man made shows that you have not read the Quran. Look at the bigger picture. Secular government laws are based on religious laws.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis YOU HAVE AVOIDED THE QUESTION. Again no reference, there is no meaning to what you are writing if you do not refer to some academic work. Have you read the Quran, becasue if you haven't then I am wasting my time with a person that is criticising something without know what it is. If religion is so violent, then tell me what is the way forward. The absence of religion? According to you communise which is the absence of religion, is the 3rd killer in human history.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Oh can you also please tell me how many Muslims have been killed over the past 1400 years by non Muslims.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Your not referencing your claims. That is not evidence. Reference. How amazing it is that your facts just show Muslims to be the aggressors. You bias nature is evident in what you are writing. Don't follow anything blindly. You need only to pick up the Quran and read it that this religion is a peaceful religion. I will agree that people have done horrible things and killed innocent in the name of Islam, but found out for yourself if that is correct in Islam. Find out

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis Can you give the evidence to the claims that you have made.

[sir8600]

@AlhamdulillahAkhi you have non-muslims friends?

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@sir8600 No

[sir8600]

@AlhamdulillahAkhi why?

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis If you put all the killing by non-Muslims together it will outweigh the killing by Muslims.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis "He invaded Baghdad in June 1401. After the capture of the city, 20,000 of its citizens - Muslims - were massacred"

"Tamerlane, aka Temur-the Mongol successor to Genghis Khan-ranks with Alexander the Great as one of the world's great conquerors"

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis "While Timur professed to be a good Muslim, he obviously felt no compunction about destroying the jewel-cities of Islam and slaughtering their inhabitants. Damascus, Khiva, Baghdad... these ancient capitals of Islamic learning never really recovered from Timur's attentions. His intent seems to have been to make his capital at Samarkand the first city of the Islamic world"

@HamzaAndreasTzortzis

ENJOY YOUR LIFE BUDDY..... ENJOY BULLSHITTING..... ENJOY IMAGINING YOUR POPULAR.......JUST ENJOY...!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIMES IS JUST A BLIP AND YOUR GONE.... AND FORGOTTEN SOON ENOUGH..........

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 You enjoy your life, because I enjoy sympathising with the people that are suffering. Don't forget your end will come and you shall be shown the truth. Do not be amongst the people that wish they had another chance and regret. I enjoy my life by the way. Perfect it is, can't ask for more.

[terenchion1]

Sorry, your brainwashed with your hideous religious beliefs.... you try to brainwash others, religion is a CURSE..... no religion no wars... no wars... PEACE...... MOST OF THE TERRORISTS IN THE WORLD ARE ARABS......... so much for peace... so much for love.. so much for your so called religion....... stop living in cuckoo land... enjoy this world its your last..

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Your claims sound irrational. You have no evidence to support them. "No religion no wars"? The biggest wars of the world, the first and second was that caused by religion? The eradication of Hiroshima, was that caused by religion? Communist Russia, hated by Britain and United States of America leading to the cold war. Is that because of religion? You have been brainwashed by your fantasy of everyone can "enjoy this world" to the extent you cannot see and think straight. 

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Are you going to say that the poor, the mentally ill, the physically disabled can enjoy this world. The mother that saw her child's head get blown off, can she enjoy this world? The orphans can they enjoy this worlds? Are you going to say these suffering is caused by religion? Look who is living in cuckoo land. You enjoy this world like a selfish blinded by greed person and let the greater population of this world suffer due to poverty. Define terrorists!!

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 I'm talking humanly not religiously.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Please answer the questions or there is no point having this discussion

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Lets talk about dreams. It is instigated by the "unconscious"- according to many people ie S Freud. Now, this phenomenon is no scientific. That is a major debate within psychology. Is psychology a science or not. You have the biological perspective which is criticized for its reductionist and deterministic nature but is very scientific, however on the other hand the humanistic perspective which gives free will to humans and gives importance to them but is not scientific

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@AlhamdulillahAkhi Now you can say dreams are fairy tales, but its not you feel it. Furthermore, before the invention of microscope the ability to see organelles within cells was impossible to see. So at that time would it have been logical and smart to say organelles are fairy tales?

[terenchion1]

Stop the fighting ... Stop the silly terrorists ... Stop the extreme religion... Enjoy THIS WORLD not the NEXT.... (cos there isnt one...trust me) Science has proved that.......

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Let alone disproving the hereafter, science has not yet been able to explain how this universe came to be. Hope I have not offended you in anyway. If I have I apologies.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 For something to be scientific it has to meet these criteria along with many others. Therefore the hereafter is not scientific. That is not to say that the hereafter dose not exist. If we take free will as an example to illustrate that. Free will cannot be measured, however we make choices everyday. Plus many psychologists agree that humans do have free will

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Look at the bigger picture. Don't follow anything blindly. Today science has become the new "religion" that is followed blindly by everyone. When you understand the principles of science you would see that it has many gaps. And no science has not proved that the hereafter is not true, as the existence of the hereafter is not measurable nor falsifiable

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 I wish you peace. And just as I try to be open minded about the reality of this world, so should you, because if I'm wrong then it's not a big deal. But if you're wrong then it's your loss. I pray that you find what you wish for in this life, but more than that I pray for our mutual respect. Once again, I wish you peace.

[whitetiger769]

@terenchion1 it's a sin to kill yourself...

[killuminatii1]

O Allah, begging you to protect Hamza. Verry important person for the ummah masha Allah. What a knowledge.

[d3r2000]

Cool lets start stoning people to death!

[dunknwitsiffy]

nice vid!

[qharoon17]

Mashallah fantastic video

[terenchion1]

peace my ass.......

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@terenchion1 Peace. Take a chill pill and learn about Islam. It might save you

[floatinsun]

To become a muslim you have to cut your forskin of your penis by doing that it is an irreversible process., you have to treat women like a sex slaves and terrorize non islam believers and bring as much as pple to islam so that you go to heaven and fuck 72 virgins, so again you continue to make women sexslaves in haven. Treat non islam believers as infedeles and kill them because islam is a peace full religion. if an islamic religious person wants to change the religion give him death penalty.

[Nottafooh1]

@floatinsun i as a FEMALE I turned to ISLAM because it FREED me from sexualization and psychological slavery i delt with in my personal life. It provides me with the solution of being treated as a person (dressing modestly) and a solution to NOT having to deal with cheating like most north american women today (marrying some one righteous, who believes God is ever watchful). So personally, this my choice that I made through my inherant freedom of choice as a human being,

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@Nottafooh1 JazaakAllah for your powerful and intelligent response! May Allah keep you, ameen

[charlie13121]

@Nottafooh1

If you want to dress modestly then simply dress modestly.

[Nottafooh1]

@charlie13121 Nope I want to be counted among those who were thankful for every thing God has given us, that's goal number uno for me.

[charlie13121]

@Nottafooh1

The only reason you cover is because Allah says so, not because you originally thought it was a good idea.

What will happen if your really naughty? Will Allah put you on the barbeque to achieve those nice grill marks? Yup, Allah thinks it's justified and fair to burn somebody for an infinite amount of time for a finite crime. Does that sound logical to you?

[Nottafooh1]

@charlie13121 Wow charlie, okay you are right, i will now leave islam :D ahahhah you are funny, one deed is not punishble in islam for eternity, so your knowledge of islam is incorrect. Rather its your complete life and what you have done with it, that matters.

[Nottafooh1]

@charlie13121 thanks for the well meaning advice though :)

[Nottafooh1]

@floatinsun this choice i made using freedom that you and I have due to Allah the most high, so you coming out here, belittling my choice, throwing negative and false facts around. Anyways, to the truth seekers out there, learn from the true muslims that follow true islam, many of them too were just like you, then we can really get dialogue going and dispel ignorance like this.

[soljahmumina]

salamu alaikum, another excellent video mashaAllah, there was loud background talk in this video and the abu hafsa one too but kheir inshaAllah. may Allah reward you for all your efforts and keep us all on the straight path, jazakAllah khair ameen. Also, i tried to share your videos lots of times but youtube wouldnt let me so im gonna put your channel on my favourites when i figure out how to inshaAllah.

[AlhamdulillahAkhi]

@soljahmumina SalaamunAlaikum thanks for the feedback :) and your efforts for helping us with our dawah; yeah we're really sorry about the poor sound but we had to do these interviews really quickly as the brothers were very busy and about to leave (it was during their talks at the University of Reading). But yeah, keep posting on facebook myspace etc :P and may Allah preserve you and take you to Him as a firm Muslima, ameen.
